    Utensils Used
    | 1. For the marinade: Seed the chiles, and chop finely. | 2. Mash them together with the garlic, cloves, and cumin; add vinegar (avoid touching the chiles and vinegar with your bare hands if possible to prevent burning the skin). | 3. Boil the ingredients in heavy saucepan until it thickens into a heavy paste, stirring frequently to avoid burning. | 4. Let cool. | 5. Cut the pork meat in thin steaks or slices (normally the slices rest on top of each other while marinating and cooking). | 6. Apply the paste to the meat putting one slice on top of the other (At an authentic taqueria, this would form a unit topped with pineapple for added flavor and moisture, and placed into the rotisserie and rotated constantly). | 7. Cover and place in the fridge at least 6 hours (or overnight). | 8. If using a rotisserie, cook the meat until well done. | 9. If not using a rotisserie, drain the marinade and cut the pork in small pieces. | 10. Put in a frying pan with a little oil and cook the meat with small pieces of pineapple making sure the pork is well-cooked, using care not to burn. | 11. While the meat is cooking, heat the tortillas. | 12. Finely chop the onion and cilantro together. | 13. Cut the limes in quarters. | 14. Serve the cooked meat wrapped in the hot tortillas, and garnished with the chopped cilantro, onion, pineapple, and the lime quarters. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
